Off Topic How do you like your steak cooked?

2 for me. Why bother eating steak if it’s well done. I don’t get it

 

2?

Far too chewy.

However, each to their own, I get that.

 

2 is medium rare so shouldn’t be chewy.

 

I had some at a BBQ last night just like 2, I couldn't eat it, lobbed it back on for a few minutes. But like I say, each to their own.

 

Because chicken and pork have parasites or bacteria that can make it to the centre of the meat, so if it's not cooked through you're at risk. Good quality steak is only likely to have bacteria on the surface, so seared on the outside and raw in the middle is fairly safe.

 

Fook, I had chicken in spain a few years that had blood in the middle. 'Es peligroso para comer' I told them in broken Spanish. And after that, 'No pago'.

Any potential food poisoning bugs are on the surface with Lamb or Beef hence why you can have it rare as you state, although the bloody Environmental Health Nazis are against this as they still want everything cremated, if you are offered rare pork in a restaurant as has become the fad run a mile, over 30 years in the catering industry so I would happily cook and serve a blue steak, pink lamb and usually have mine medium rare when it comes to steak.

 

Rare pork?

 

YES! get in my face

 

2.5 for me, I like a nice line of pink through the middle. Making me want bloody miller and carter now

 

You should be okay now. Think it will have worked its way through your system.

 

I made myself bowk in the restaurant infront of them all

 

30 seconds a side and no more!

 

Rare or Medium Rare are my personal choice. To be honest though it mostly comes down to the quality of the meat. I've had steak medium but the quality has been so good its still banging. Anything over medium is just unacceptable and a waste of good food.
